Know before you buy
Yes, the coffeemaker is fully programmable up to 24 hours in advance, allowing you to set your brew time so your coffee is ready when you are.
It includes a reusable mesh filter, so you do not need to purchase disposable paper filters. This is both more convenient and better for the environment.
No, the water reservoir is built into the unit and is not removable. You will need to pour water directly into the reservoir using the carafe or another container.
The Bold setting adjusts the brewing cycle to slow down the water flow through the grounds, which extracts more flavor for a stronger, more robust cup of coffee.
Yes, the pause-and-serve feature allows you to remove the carafe mid-brew to pour a cup without making a mess, provided you replace it within 20 seconds.
The machine includes a built-in charcoal water filter to ensure better-tasting coffee. You should replace this filter periodically, depending on your water quality and usage frequency.
